Susan Boyle has been said to have the voice of an angel, but during her performance on "The View" this morning (Nov. 30), the angel was interrupted by the frog in Boyle's throat.

The Scottish singer appeared on the morning talks how to sing her rendition of "O Holy Night," from her recent holiday-themed set "The Gift," which currently holds the top spot on the Billboard 200. Everything was sailing smoothly until the last few notes when Boyle choked on the lyrics and signaled for the music to be turned down.

She explained to hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd that she "had a frog in her throat" as they came up to congratulate her. While it's always embarrassing to miss notes on national television, at least SuBo is still doing it live. You can't be perfect all the time, Susan, but we appreciate you trying.
